My mom asked me to bring some cupcakes for our family 4th cookout, and when I make cupcakes I like to go all out, so I browsed the baking isle and managed to throw this together. Now I'm trying to resist eating them until the BBQ tomorrow :/

Recipe

Ingredients

Follow directions on the cake mix to prepare your batter, and add blue food coloring until you get the shade you want. Then pour into a muffin pan and bake as directed.

Step 2

While your cupcakes are baking, put frosting into a bowl and mix in red food coloring.

Step 3

While you're at it, mix a little bit of blue food coloring with some sugar. I made too much here.

Step 4

Make your pudding mix.

Step 5

Once your cupcakes are done and cooled, use a spoon and carefully cut/spoon out the center of the cupcakes.

Step 6

Spoon a bit of pudding into each cupcake

Step 7

Add frosting. I personally put mine in a ziplock baggie and cut the corner and squirted it on.

Step 8

Sprinkle some of your colored sugar on.

Step 9

Melt your white chocolate chips. I did mine in a pan on a stove, I recommend adding a little veggie oil to keep it from burning.

Step 10

For this style of cupcake, drizzle the white chocolate over the cupcakes, then take a strawberry and dip it in the white chocolate, then in the blue sugar.

Step 11

For these, I sliced the strawberries (I like it because the inside of the strawberry looks like an exploding firework), put a little blob of white chocolate on it, and sprinkle some of the colored sugar over it. I also put a couple white chocolate chips around the strawberry slice.
